Toronto Complete Streets Guidelines Street Design for Roadways Traffic Calming 8.7 8.7 TRAFFIC CALMING In Toronto, traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps or diverters may only be used on local and collector roads. The City’s Traffic Calming Policy (2010) defines traffic calming measures as well as the criteria and process for applying them to streets. The purpose of traffic calming devices is to alter drivers’ behaviour and to improve road safety. The need for these devices is often an indication that the street is not well-designed to achieve its desired target speed for vehicles. The better approach is to seek opportunities through street redesign projects to rightsize and repurpose street space to achieve complete streets objectives. When implementing traffic calming, treatments intended to curtail motor vehicles should exempt cyclists, not be located on transit routes and should accommodate emergency vehicles and winter maintenance requirements.
